Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A:$ If an electric dipole of dipole moment $30 \times 10^{-5}\,Cm$ is enclosed by a closed surface, the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.

Reason $R$ : Electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.

In the light of above, statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
